But you obviously don't understand what I am saying.

You said it yourself... "The problem is link rot"... which afflicts every directory and site to some degree or another. DMOZ is no better or worst than any other in this respect.... hence my point.

It seems that whenever there is a general negative point to be made, DMOZ is wheeled out. Every other directory/site is conveniently overlooked.

This is simply wrong. The ODP is a volunteer organization. Editors are not paid. If a directory or site is to be singled out, I would have thought that a profit driven structure would be a somewhat more appropriate target.

In truth, no directory should be singled out. Link rot is the issue so link rot should be discussed. It should not be used as camouflage for an unjustified attack on a single directory.
